Where to buy a piece of deck hardware

Postby gwhastie » 14 Oct 2023, 21:28

Rather than using a conventional bow sprit on my 16' powerboat hull build, I'd like to source one that resembles the one in the attached picture if anyone knows where I can get one please.

I'd also like to know the correct name for it too

I believe that this is called a breast hook. The style that you have pictured I imagine would need to be sourced from the US as this style was common on timber boats of the 40's & 50's. You could try McCall Boat Works https://mccallboatworks.com/chris-craft ... e-package/

This is the breast hook on my 1941 Chris Craft.

Nice screw alignment there Bob, it's the details that count.
